Sacrosanctus has to come into the reckoning but still gives the impression he's a shade high in the weights. He had LIBERTY GREEN behind at Kempton last month but the latter is fancied to reverse that form back at this track. Alan McCabe's filly won her maiden over C&D and was only beaten a head on her handicap debut over 6f here. She can score off her current mark with further progress likely. Johnny Hancocks makes his debut for new connections after beating Golden Shine in a claimer at Kempton last time and will find this tougher.
